About this property

Luxury Accommodation in Hahndorf - Thiele House Retreat

For your added security, this property is only managed in Australia and we never request payments be made to overseas bank accounts

Think a chic mix of the luxurious, heritage and funk.
Situated in the heart of the Adelaide Hills, Thiele House Retreat is a secluded 3 to 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom short stay escape, sleeping up to 10 people comfortably (4 people in partial house option).
We offer a chilled bottle of wine on arrival along with a sweet snack. We have a beautiful courtyard with a table that seats 12 to 14 persons and the interior table seats 8 persons. We also have large lawned gardens by the creek.
The house has two wood burning fires with wood and kindling supplied and a Piano in the front lounge room. Thiele House has 2 bedrooms downstairs with king-size beds and access to ensuite - and 2 bedrooms upstairs - one has a king size double bed and the other bedroom has a double queen size bed and 2 single beds which is ideal to accommodate an extra 1 to 4 persons. NOTE - Access to the second bedroom is through the other upstairs bedroom. Children under 3 years of age using cots - Free of charge. 1 Cot and 1 High Chair Supplied.

Thiele House Retreat is located on the outskirts of the Main Street of Hahndorf, the oldest surviving German settlement and just 20 minutes from the CBD of Adelaide, via the freeway. Australia's best wineries and cellar doors neighbour The Retreat with the likes of The Lane Vineyard, Sidewood Estate, Sam Scott Wines, Hahndorf Hill Winery, Nepenthe, Somerled, Shaw & Smith and many more, just minutes away from the Hahndorf Township, whilst taking time to relax and recharge.

The property has 5 buildings on site, The front property is leased to Bracegirdles which is a chocolate house offering the best coffee in Hahndorf as well as a large range of chocolates and food.
We also have a cellar door, La Prova Wines. The old barn is The Blacksmiths Cafe and the double story building is an info-tec company. The accommodation is another separate building and was our old home, we now live in the office/apartment above the garages which is also a separate building. We state that we live on-site to discourage the property being used by those wishing to use accommodation for large parties, leaving the premises in a trashed state. All buildings are of stone construction, the oldest being built for the first couple of Germanic ancestory to be married in Australia. We are in the Main Street but the accommodation is 100 metres down the driveway, very quiet and private. All our guests appreciate the tranquility and proximity to the Hahndorf township and I'm sure you would also do so - unless of course, you are planning a wild rave party!! If so - our place is not for you.

Luxury and Location
A beautiful and well appointed property with a well stocked library. The welcome basket was very generous as well as a platter of goodies and bottle of wine in the fridge. Bedrooms are all good sizes with king beds and lovely linen. We have stayed here before and loved the location. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely spectacular accommodation
Gorgeously and meticulously renovated accommodation. Everything you could possibly need is there. Perfectly placed in the middle of Hahndorf. Walking distance to everything. Plenty of room for extended or multiple families and friends. Excellent communication from the host. Can’t wait to stay again.

Family Wedding
The house was an excellent place to stay for a family wedding. There was plenty of space for people to gather and we were able to use the house for some of the photos and celebration before the ceremony. Mandy was very helpful in marking some of the carparking as 'Wedding Party' which we used for elderly relatives coming up from Adelaide and the photographer.

Disappointed
Not cleaned after prior guests upon our arrival so we were asked to leave for 2 hours. 4 hours later we were able to return. We had to purchase spare toilet paper, dishwasher tabs, and soap as it wasnt provided. The location was lovely except for the 7am wake up from a waste pumping truck operating right next door. The house itself was gorgeous but the experience was disappointing and not cheap.

Perfect for multi-generational family gathering
We had a wonderful stay at Thiele House with our children & grandchildren. There were 9 of us and there was so much space! Plenty of seperate areas for people to retreat to. Great location in the middle of Hahndorf, can walk anywhere. Very easy check-in process and lovely welcome wine and goodies were very much appreciated. Large commercial style kitchen that was extremely well equipped. The house also has good sized bedrooms and bathrooms. The outside courtyard area and table was a little dirty, but that’s just nitpicking. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend.

We had a girls weekend at this fabulous house. It's beautifully appointed, spacious and perfect in every way for a group of friends to get together. Mandy supplied a great and generous welcome kit with lots of yummy treats. Also such a great location to the shops, cafes and restaurants in Handorf. We will definitely be back next year.
